Radio Silence—administrators Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, and producer Chad Villella—efficiently rebooted certainly one of horror’s largest franchises with Scream and Scream VI. Now they’ve tapped the star of these movies, Melissa Barrera, to affix one other film reviving a beloved property from horror’s previous, within the type of a mysterious Common Monster mission.
Deadline broke the information of this glorious re-team, although sadly there are treasured few different particulars about what’s at present titled “Untitled Monster Thriller,” which has a script by Stephen Shields (The Gap within the Floor) that was revised by Man Busick (Prepared or Not, Scream, Scream VI). The commerce notes that Radio Silence has been growing this movie for awhile—it’ll be a part of Common’s post-Darkish Universe push towards standalone releases (see: The Invisible Man, Renfield) utilizing its traditional monsters in recent, modernized tales—however the success of Scream and its rapidly greenlit follow-up meant they’d Ghostface-adjacent commitments to take care of first.
In response to Deadline, “Whereas they started assembly with different expertise, it turned evident fairly rapidly that Barrera was the proper match for the function following two profitable shoots with the rising star and supplied her the half.” After this mission, you may go forward and exchange “rising star” with “scream queen.” There’s no phrase but on once we can anticipate this one to drop—may it probably come collectively as rapidly as Scream VI did?—however our foremost concern in the intervening time is which monster from among the many Common firmament shall be headlining this one. We’re additionally hoping this mission will make Radio Silence neglect about that Escape From New York reboot they lately added to their schedule.
